otakulys's manga / #Slice of Life(186)

I'm so glad I'm finally reading this author. Who cares if I have to get up in seven hours to go to work? I'm gonna keep reading what I can get my hands on until I pass out. This was a very sweet and sad little story, but ultimately it was satisfying. I'd like to see Arthur, even after the mistakes he made, find a happy ending, too. I'm hoping there's a spin-off with him out there somewhere, other than the sad little oneshot about his doomed relationship with Renji. Anyway, beautiful all around. This mangaka has instantly shot up into my favorites list.

Awwww, too cute! I want more! I hope this gets picked up again so we can find out what happens. These two are adorable. I love a mean-looking character with a warm, squishy center. I just want to squeeze them both.

I really like this so far! Lovely art, likable characters, sweet plot. I would have given it five stars, but I thought it was going to avoid that super typical "one person really likes the other, but the other pretends to be straight for half the story," and I'm disappointed that it's fallen into that typical equation. Regardless, I look forward to seeing it from here on out, and I'll be glad when they just get past the stupid already and start dating. I hope that isn't too long from now. ETA: Aww, I wanna see more of that guy who kissed Qin Xiong! But there are so many passing characters who don't seem to actually have anything to do with the story that I won't hold my breath. It's a shame, though, cause he was hot, and I already wanted to know more about him just from that brief interaction.

I really like this so far, especially in the sense that they didn't immediately fall for one another and live happily ever after. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens, and I hope it continues to explore the fact that he always loved this boy like a brother, rather than erasing all of that to make them a couple as easily as possible. Poor babies, either way. Can't wait for more.

Kinda gross so far, but it could go either way. If it addresses how fucked up this all is, cool, but since it probably won't, I can't give it more than two stars. I'll change it if I'm wrong, but it's so gross how easily forgiven rape is in so many "romance" stories. My guess is that it'll turn out the friend wanted him all along, so it was okay that he did that. Cause that's how it works? *eye roll*

Damn, this breaks my heart and makes me want to cry. She's so raw and vulnerable with her experience in mental illness, and though my own mental illness hasn't manifested in the exact same way, I can still really relate to that feeling of being lost and hopeless. I can't wait to see what happens from here on. I'm really rooting for the author. I hope she ultimately finds herself and finds someone to love her. I'm almost scared to see what sad things might follow, but I'm curious and eager all the same. So glad I started reading this!

I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes. I'm intrigued, though it's so short and rushed so far. I do like the fact that the girl wasn't like, "What? A girl? OMGZ NOOO!!!" like you see in so much of this crap. I'm hoping it maintains that much at least.

I really enjoy seeing a BL manga that dissects different elements of love and relationships. It's so rare to see an unhealthy relationship portrayed as such, and it's almost unheard of for a character to end up with a guy who's healthier for him in the end. Very sweet, though it was a bit abrupt and confusing in places. Still, I really liked it. I'd enjoy reading more about the main two, but I was still satisfied with what there is.

Cute and kind of strange little manga. I like it so far. I wonder what's going to happen with that snoopy guy. There are elements of the story that are uncomfortable and odd, like the dudes sexually harassing the kid until they realize there really IS something gay going on, and then it's too far. I mean, pulling his pants down and insisting your friend give the dude a handjob "as a joke" is one thing, but actually dating a guy????!!!111 It's a pretty bizarre scene but... honestly, I've seen a semi-similar mentality in real life guys, so who knows.

I don't typically read this type of het, but I'm intrigued by the main girl. She doesn't seem like the typical waifish, gorgeous chick that these stories are always about. The fact that she's "the most beautiful girl in class" made me roll my eyes, but I'd like to see this turn into the chick be awesome and the guy not getting his way. We'll see, I suppose. I just hope this doesn't fall into the typical pattern.
